Gene Expression Profiling in Cancer

Gene Expression Profiling in Cancer

In her cutting-edge chapter in this book, Dr. Siddoo-Atwal describes a new model of carcinogenesis - a theme which she has developed in various scientific papers. It delineates cell death or apoptosis as being the trigger for cancer and discusses how this trigger may be reversed in its early stages. Using UV-induced skin carcinogenesis as the definitive model, she explains how it can apply to other cancers, as well.
